If they are working, then your buddypress install is ok, it’s just a matter of where your buddybar links are going. Hover over your buddybar links and see where they would be heading. That might give you some clues of what’s going wrong.

I’m having a similar problem and I think it is tied to the fact that my installation is in a subfolder with my index.php on the root. I’ve noticed that the call bp->root_domain is built into all the adminbar links. If this is pulling my install location rather than my registered address, that would explain the problem. If that is the issue, I don’t know what to do about it besides hardwiring those links manually. I’m sure one of these code gurus would have a simple workaround.

I’m seeing the same behavior where only new members are being added to BuddyPress. I don’t think it has anything to do with where things are installed. I don’t think BuddyPress attempts to add “old” WordPress-only users. You’ll also notice that past blog posts and comments, etc. aren’t shown in your BuddyPress activity stream. However, if you go into an “old” blog post and simply hit update, it gets added to the stream.

What we need is a utility that can be run that will load all the existing WP users into BP. I’d also love to see one that will load up the BP activity stream with WP blog posts and comments as well, but that’s probably asking for too much.

I did find a BuddyPress plugin that talks about being able to import users into BP. However, its not what we are looking for. It is designed to import a list of users that you cut-and-paste into a text box on the plugin. I checked the code and it will only work with WPMU and it will also (re)create whatever users you import into WP as well causing duplicates. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-import-for-buddypress-all-fields/

I’m going to dig around in the BP core to see how it goes about keeping BP and WP users in sync and see how hard it would be to write a program or plugin that would simply trigger BP to add all the existing WP users that aren’t already in BP.

Tim – we must be on similar wavelengths. I was just thinking about this problem yesterday and I wrote the following: http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-import-blog-activity/. I assume that, because this creates activity items for all members who have ever posted/commented on the site, it will do the work of adding those members to the directory as well. (Still doesn’t do anything for members who have never contributed, probably.) Hope it helps.

The default view for the member directory is “active members”. This will only show users who have logged in since you activated BuddyPress, and are therefore considered active (last_activity meta is present). If you change the ordering to something else, the members will show.

Hi –

To revive this discussion: I am curious if anyone has further light to shed on this. I think I see where the listing in the members -> recent activity comes from (xprofile_data) but where does the “members all” come from – direct from the WP_users table?

Now – the issue I have with this, is I have Buddypress in a sub-blog: http://www.mysite.com/community/ that I give selective access to certain users registered for http://www.mysite.com . I was hoping that when I made them a memeber of the Multi-Site subsite /community/ they would have access to Buddypress (and only then) — and I sure don’t want wp-users that are not part of the “community” listed in Buddypress.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I would also be interested in any development in this area.

Altough User A (ID:21) does show up in the table “wp_bp_xprofile_data”
It would be great if there was some help in bp_has_members

To reference these orphaned users with a state…. like “inactive”

Anyone happen to know if does exists some MySql query how to activate all “not recently active” members at once? I would like to see them all in BP Members directory.

Thanks @mercime but this is not a problem what I have asked, I know how to activate future users (WP – approve users plugin I don’t need) but I don’t know how to activate WP already registered users who succesfully registered their account but never did any activity in buddypress part , that’s why I can’t see them in buddypress directory , I have about 990 members registered who never posted any post , who never made any buddypress activity , only registered via gravity forms plugin – register user addon or registered via register page , that’s why I can’t see them in members directory where I have only 400 members, i would like to see them there all, but I don’t want to activate them one by one , so I search for some solution how to (maybe with the help of some query change some value in MySql table to get them there all),
“Activate users in Buddypress” plugin shows me all 990 users as already activated , some of them without BP activity and some of them without LAST ACTIVITY, there’s nothing to do, no button to change anything , this plugin will not help me to show them in members directory , there must be a simple query which will do it in batch for all of them, practicaly MEMBERS DIRECTORY it shows me only members with LAST ACTIVITY record , so simple query which will change that LAST ACTIVITY record will certainly help.

i maybe talking way above my head here but I’m wondering something about your request aren’t you saying that you want to create activity (registering commenting whatever) which never actually happened prior buddypress being installed? and if it wasn’t a comment how would you derive a time to associate with the activity? unless it was comment (or something else with a time stamp) you would be creating something from nothing no?

ok I managed to do this using the buddypress import members plugin http://www.youngtechleads.com/buddypress-members-import/ (17$) and adding the field “last_activity” with a value of i.e. “2013-09-21 22:06:14” (could be any date I’m sure)
Good plugin for importing users in general!

HI, could anyone tell me how and where exactly should i paste the code above? Ideally how the final line should look like and where to paste it. i’ve been struggling with this issue for a while, found many posts with some apparently working solutions but the instructions are not clear to me at all. i am new to this and have no idea where to start with. many thanks!!!

THanks a lot! Do you think you could tell me where exactly I should paste the code? Do you mean members_loop php or css theme settings? And if it is the members-loop is there a specific line before or after which I put it or it doesnt matter.
